ADC_Keywords: Clusters, galaxy ; H I data Abstract: A compilation of H I line fluxes, systemic velocities and linewidths is presented for 840 detected galaxies, mostly in the vicinities of 30 nearby rich clusters out to a redshift of z∼0.04, specifically for use in applications of the Tully-Fisher distance method. New 21 cm H I line profiles have been obtained for ∼500 galaxies in 27 Abell clusters visible from Arecibo. Upper limits are also presented for 246 galaxies for which H I emission was not detected. In order to provide a homogeneous linewidth determination optimized for Tully-Fisher studies, these new data are supplemented by the reanalysis of previously published spectra obtained both at Arecibo and Green Bank that are available in a digital archive. Corrections for instrumental broadening, smoothing, signal-to-noise and profile shape are applied, and an estimate of the error on the width is given. When corrected for turbulent broadening and viewing angle, the corrected velocity widths presented here will provide the appropriate line width parameter needed to derive distances via the Tully-Fisher relation.

Note (2): The "smoothing code" describes the degree of smoothing applied to the final spectrum: H = single hanning only; B = hanning plus 3 channel boxcar. Note (3): The "TF quality code" is a qualitative assessment of the quality of the profile for TF applications: G = good; F = fair; S = single peak; M = marginal detection; C = confused. A = not specified in the paper (for A230196 = IC 860 and A240647) "F" should be used with caution. Because the width measuring algorithm is designed for application to two-horned profiles, the widths measured on single peaked profiles should also be used with caution, as they may underestimate the true rotation width. Widths in the latter two categories (M, C) cannot be used for TF purposes. A designation of marginal detection is given to those cases in which the signal has not been verified through adequate reobservation. Confusion is identified only when contamination from another galaxy in the beam is certain. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Byte-by-byte Description of file: table3.dat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bytes Format Units Label Explanations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- 7 A7 --- AGC/UGC AGC (ANNNNNN) or UGC (U NNNNN) number 9- 16 A8 --- Name NGC/IC or other name (G1) 18- 19 I2 h RAh Right ascension, equinox 1950 20- 21 I2 min RAm Right ascension, equinox 1950 22- 25 F4.1 s RAs Right ascension, equinox 1950 27 A1 --- DE- Sign of Declination, equinox 1950 28- 29 I2 deg DEd Declination, equinox 1950 30- 31 I2 arcmin DEm Declination, equinox 1950 32- 33 I2 arcsec DEs Declination, equinox 1950 34- 37 F4.1 arcmin Dmaj Major diameter 38 A1 --- --- [x] (symbol for times) 39- 41 F3.1 arcmin Dmin Minor diameter 43- 44 I2 --- Type Numerical Morphological Type 46- 50 I5 km/s VelMin Minimum velocity of spectral range 51 A1 --- --- [-] (hyphen) 52- 56 I5 km/s VelMax Maximum velocity of spectral range 58 A1 --- ACMode [AS] Autocorrelation configuration code (1) 59- 64 F6.2 mJy RMS RMS noise per channel 66 A1 --- Note [*] Flag for Note in notes.dat file -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note (1): Mode used for the 21cm line observations: A = all correlator quadrants were centered on the same frequency S = the search mode was employed -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Byte-by-byte Description of file: notes.dat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bytes Format Units Label Explanations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- 7 A7 --- AGC/UGC AGC (ANNNNNN) or UGC (U NNNNN) number 9- 80 A72 --- Note Text of the note (G1) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Globla notes: Note (G1): Other names: NNN-NNN stands for Z NNN-NNN ANNNN-N stands for [D80] ACO NNNN N FNNN-NN stands for LSB FNNN-NN I NNN stands for IC NNN M+NNNNNN stands for MGC+NN-NN-NN N NNN stands for NGC NNN WIEN205 stands for Wineberger 205 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- History: * 09-Jan-2002: For A150009 = Z 394-077, the original position (050322.8 +022697) was corrected to 050322.8 +022607 Origin: AAS CD-ROM series, Volume 8, 1997 Lee Brotzman [ADS] 02-May-1997
